On a small farm in Mexico, there are no schools. A bus is the school. The driver of the bus is the teacher. It’s a school bus, but it doesn’t take the children to school. It just goes round from place to place, and sometimes it comes to this farm. The bus will stay here for three months. The farmers call it a school on wheels (车轮). Every time when the bus comes, the farmers will come, running to it, shouting and laughing. They warmly welcome the school bus.

Most people have jobs. They go to work nearly every day. Some people are lucky. They have very interesting jobs and they make a lot of money. Most people are not so lucky. Their jobs are a bit boring and they don’t get well paid.

The most interesting jobs are often the most difficult. People take a long time to learn how to do them. Doctors study for at least six years after finishing school. Airline pilots study longer. They have to learn to fly small aircraft first, and then slowly move up to bigger aircraft. Most airline pilots are more than 30 years old.

Some young people have interesting and well-paid jobs. Many successful athletes are young. Football and tennis stars are usually under 35. Older people usually cannot play these sports very well. They cannot move fast enough. Golf, however, is a good sport for older people. Many successful golfers are quite old.

Most people work until(直到) they are 60 or 65 years old. Then they retire and have a lot of free time. But some people never retire. These people usually have very interesting jobs. Writers, artists, musicians and actors usually work until they die. Their work is their life.
